“Buttermonkey is a true adventure and an experience like no other.
You can look at a collection of antique tools, turn the corner to find vintage clothing, turn again to find hand-crafted art pieces, or even an original Mickey Mouse phone. There is also antique furniture, a vintage sewing machine, a movie camera, opera glasses, vintage and modern crafted jewelry pieces, records (both LPs and 45s), a carousel horse, a collection of vintage toys (including Raggedy Ann), and so much more.”
